Hock boots for arthritis?

[Pippity]

Have people found hock boots generally helpful for arthritis? My cob seems to be feeling her hocks a little bit, with the weather getting cold and wet, and I was wondering if hock boots when she's stabled overnight would help.

If so, what brands are likely to fit very short, very wide legs?

I didn't use hock boots per se, but I did use fleece hock wraps while I was grooming and tacking up and then would walk her in the school for 5 minutes with them on before hacking out.

They definitely helped and meant her joints were already warmed up before we headed out.

Only forgot to take them off once (they were bright red with white stars!).
